(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™
Looks like a ton of fun. Will the guide be updated for 3.0 prior to its launch or shortly after?

" Drop the belt and boots for better rares with life rolls, try to get at least 5.5k life. If you want to use a unique belt, even Belt of the Deceiver is a better choice than Doryani. Red blade are bad with disfavor, since disfavor has tons of flat phys already. Better off using rare boots here, ideally with Life, 30% movement and resists. This lets you free up rings for whatever you want! " Slayer is one of the better options for Lab, that's for sure. Lighty mentions slayer is probably the overall best option for the build too. IF you want to do it as Marauder, the two best options are Juggernaut and Berserker. If you want to focus on maps, Berserker is the most damage and has the least defense but will burst down bosses a lot faster (this matters in 3.0, where boss life is getting buffs). For a lab-focused character, Juggernaut with lots of endurance charges and a Kaom's Way is solid. If you want to farm with a Berserker, my recommendation is to drop the 100% leech node and pick up War Bringer so you can heal on traps by using a war cry. But I really, really, really like Jugg for lab since it cant get slowed, it protects against dying (key for lab!), and it mitigates a lot of physical damage. Offensive to Defensive 1- Berserker 2- Raider 3- Slayer 4- Champion 5- Juggernaut IMHO! Last edited by Samir316 on Jul 28, 2017, 7:57:28 PM

Hey everyone,
Im also coming back to PoE after a brief school-induced break, and was hoping I could get some advice. For a long time I've had my heart set on a 2h crit cyclone marauder, and I was working on one for a while before I took a break. I got a berserker to 69, and was leaning towards evasion. Coming back, the game offered me the option to reset my passive tree, and I've come to a dilemna: I want to play a 2h crit sword cyclone marauder, but Im not sure how viable that is, especially because I'm not that experienced. Here's my question: Is a 2h crit sword cyclone marauder viable? And, if so, is evasion viable on such a character? Lastly, what advice do you have for someone in terms of key nodes / gear for such a build? It was enough to get me through early mapping, but I'd really appreciate any advice. I can post my gear and goal tree if that would help. Thanks in advance! | |
Hello and thank you for what seems to be a great guide even tho I haven't started leveling yet.
I've just decided to come back to POE after a VERY long break and found your build which suits me perfectly. I only have a question regarding ascendancy classes. The Bezerker looks like a lot of fun and mayhem but would I be overly squishy later on? I'm not looking for a build that would be able to clear the absolute hardest content right now since I'm coming back and need to learn the ropes again but I don't want to be running around dying all the time either. Would I be better off going with the juggernaut tree as a starter? Or would that dampen my dmg output to much and limit my ability to farm efficiently? The bonuses from the ascendancy trees seems to be quite powerful and I would imagine that they have quite a big effect on the build overall. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work! :) | |
How much worse would a Scion Slayer/Raider built be compared to the Marauder ascendancies?
Also it seems intriguing to not go with the 2 skill points, instead just 1 and allow to start from Ranger nodes. This would allow to extend the build to Vaal Pact at lvl100. Possibly could shave off some nodes with life regen. Something like this http://poeurl.com/bn1B I realize it would be possible to go simply from Scion to pick up Vaal Pact. Costs about 5 points more but gets a lot of attack speed. http://poeurl.com/bn1H Did small PoB and it seems like the dps loss 50% end game compared to berserker and all of that comes from the Berserker ascendancies. Life goes down 10%. Last edited by Quizzlemanizzle on Aug 1, 2017, 12:28:48 PM

" Yes. Absolutely. You'll want to use Terminus Est as a starting weapon. I played this, and Flicker strike, for almost all of LSC. A vaal pact evasion Raider, Berserker or Pathfinder ($$$). But we warned, it's a lot more expensive than 2hd non-crit. Here's my item display cabinet / tree thread.
Spoiler
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1901898 Intially, though, you'll want to start with TE, well-rolled gear, and use vaal pact, not acuities. " Berserker with Cloaked in Savagery and Vaal Pact is one of the best boss killers in the game. This thread focuses more on mapping and general use, if you want to focus on end game content, there are single target skills that provided more effective DPS than Cyclone. Cyclone is about fluidity and movement, hitting many targets at once. For doing "the absolute hardest content" you're better off with molten strike, blade flurry, or Cyclone with Nghamhu's Flame (the axe). | |
Patch Notes Out, Starting updates and will be done with 24 hours of this post along with brief videos summing up any changes/buffs/nerfs ect.

The shock change in particular is pretty huge for fast attack builds like Cyclone, and will be a nice boost to Starforge (along with the minor nerf to Weapon Elemental Damage support). Likewise, the new bleed stacking node would be of huge benefit to Cyclone as well, although the chance to bleed reduction on Atziri's mitigates it somewhat.
They also made Ruthless a flat "every third hit", which is pretty good considering how many rapid hits Cyclone puts out, so I suppose it could easily remain a primary gem, at least for a Brutality build. |
